Posted by timothy on from the or-none-of-the-above dept.

Anonymous Coward writes "Finally, a much awaited review of enterprise OSes. The guys from NW Test Alliance pitted Red Hat, UnitedLinux, and Windows against each other and rated them on several rubrics. Red Hat won by a slight margin on the basis of its high hardware compatibility and strong security integration."

    Well, if you're an IT director in charge of 1000 machines for a $500 million company, $2500 is chump change. That's one week's salary for one of your 25 DBA's. You don't buy Enterprise if you're just going to run one dinky little web server. And people like you, who expect that everything is supposed to be free are true fucking morons.

    Yes, TCO is much higher with non Microsoft platforms. Good point.
